A white male Mormon millionaire was not gonna beat Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts, but someone deserved to go out there and give him a real run for his money. – Mitt Romney
My red line is Iran may not have a nuclear weapon. It is inappropriate for them to have the capacity to terrorize the world.

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are two peas in the same pod, and the American people have tasted that, and said, ‘Look, that’s not a good taste.’ – Mitt Romney
My whole life has been learning to lead, from my parents, to my education, to the experience I had in the private sector, to helping run the Olympics, and then of course helping guide a state. – Mitt Romney
It’s an advantage to have two parents, but to have one parent to stay closely connected and at home during those early years of education can be very very important. – Mitt Romney
I’ve been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama – then candidate Obama – going through Iowa making promises. The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I’ve seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of ’til death do we part. – Mitt Romney
By making bold cuts in spending and commonsense entitlement reforms, we will make our government simpler, smaller, and smarter. – Mitt Romney

What I do is allow middle-income families to finally be able to save their money tax-free. No tax on interest dividends or capital gains for middle-income Americans. – Mitt Romney
Through pro-growth policies, by abolishing Obamacare and eliminating other Obama-imposed impediments to economic growth, we will get our economy back on track. – Mitt Romney
Now not every policy Donald Trump has floated is bad. He wants to repeal and replace Obamacare. He wants to bring jobs home from China and Japan. But his prescriptions to do these things are flimsy at best. – Mitt Romney
